It looks like one, but I don't think it is. What is it?

That has to be a Denver. It looks like it has a different motor though.

This has been on the board before, it's actually a Sterling knockoff of a Quadruplex. If you look closely, the motor has two shafts, which makes people believe that there used to be another choppers assembly on the other side!

I just confirmed that is Sterling's ripoff of a Denver Duplex.

Sorry for the bump, it's more of a rebrand, not a knockoff. Sterling accually produced these before the model M was introduced in the late 1910s

Do you have anything to actually back up that claim?

He probably read it off the CD Sirens wiki, or the current ARS wiki.

Sterling, known as Interstate Machine Products at the time, began producing these in 1916. Heavily based off the Denver Siren, They were discontinued by the end of 1918 and replaced entire by the model M by 1920.
